Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET) has been in existence for more than two decades. Dr. Nambudripad herself suffered horribly from multiple allergies her entire life and therefore, began a quest to discover how to improve her health by eliminating allergies and to dramatically improve her quality of life. She discovered accidentally during an acupuncture session that by physically contacting an allergen (through a homeopathic vial) during a treatment that stimulates specific acupuncture meridian points, the necessary immune mediators are produced to neutralize the adverse reaction coming from the allergen held in the hand. This is possible because activation of appropriate points of the acupuncture meridians stimulate the central nervous system which in essence reprograms the brain.
Therefore, the body's electromagnetic field is no longer negatively repelled to the allergen's electromagnetic field and as a result, does not need to produce an immune response in defense. By changing the body's electrical charge through acupressure, the response to all items that once produced a negative symptom is positively altered. After the energy molecule of the allergen has completed its path through the body's twelve meridians and leaves the body, it has now reset the nervous system to have a neutral or positive response to that allergen. Therefore, immediately following a NAET session, it is required that the patient comply with a 25 hour avoidance of the specific allergen being treated to allow it to complete its meridian journey. It is fascinating to observe the clear difference in allergy reaction even simply through kinesiology or manual muscle testing which is an integral part of the NAET process. Before an allergen is treated, it is important to muscle test the patient holding the allergen to confirm its presence as well as muscle test the allergen on the next visit to be confident that it actually cleared and therefore, will no longer be symptomatic.
Another amazing aspect of NAET is how far-reaching it affects multiple health conditions that may not be traditionally considered an allergic reaction. Patients suffering from depression, chronic back pain, headaches, and gastrointestinal complaints, for example, commonly are reacting to items in their environment but may not be considered an allergy because they are not the "traditional" itchy, watery eyes, sneezing, and coughing reactions that are associated with an allergic response. Having been a NAET patient first and now practitioner, I am amazed daily at the positive impact NAET has in the life of my patients. I am thankful to Dr. Nambudripad for creating this vitally important technique that has transformed the health of thousands of patients world-wide.
